Learning various Hawaiian words for animals and places. Also Lorenzo was very funny and Captain Colleen did a great job. My children had a great time seeing all the sights including a wonderful view of Diamondhead. I did not expect the history and language lessons in addition to fish and a sea turtle and it was a great addition. I will definitely recommend.
So fun!

A quick and inexpensive tour with beautiful sights.

The tour guides were very knowledgeable about the island and kept us laughing with jokes for the whole family. I wish we could have seen more sea life than we did as the waters were choppy when we had our tour. We did see some sea turtles and some local fish. We didn’t get to use the glass bottoms as much because of the choppiness of the water. Take some motion sickness medicine if you tend to get queasy. The ocean was beautiful. Diamond head is spectacular. It was an hour trip and we were able to do it the morning of our 1pm flight back to the mainland. Highly recommended.
Not much sealife

It was disappointing that we didn’t see much sea life. We saw a turtle and a seal, both from a distance.
On the positive side, it was a pleasant ride off Waikiki beach and it wasn’t crowded at all. The captain and his mate were very professional and friendly. The boat appeared well kept and sea worthy. No complaints there.
Not happy

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
